Why Algeria is Expanding Its Pulse Imports?

With over 44 million people, Algeria is one of North Africa’s largest food markets. Pulses—especially lentils—are a staple in Algerian cuisine, used in traditional dishes like Chorba, Lentil Tagine, and Marqa.

To meet local demand and compensate for fluctuating domestic production, Algeria increasingly turns to international markets to import bulk lentils at competitive prices. This has created an excellent opportunity for long-term supply partnerships.
